Native of a former Soviet Bloc country has homophobic views. That's a shocker…

What an idiot. Does he even realise how entwined the history of dance culture and gay clubs is

Creamfields, Sonar, HARD Summer, Mysteryland Netherlands, Pitch, and Urban Art Forms all dropped him. Booking agency dropped him. Sites and stores cancelled preorders of Sparta.

His EU & US agencies also dropped him.

What a dope.

Playing devil's advocate here but is he a terrible human being or just a product of his environment?

A poll conducted in 2009 showed that only 16% of Lithuanians would approve of a gay pride march in the capital Vilnius and 81.5% of respondents considered homosexuality as a perversion, disease or paraphilia.

This isn't endorsement of his views and what's happened to him in the aftermath of his facebook rant is entirely appropriate.

I'm reminded of Bill Burr talking about the fallout from your man from Duck Dynasty coming out with homophobic comments.

If he had never left Lithuania and had no exposure to other society's views l might agree, but he has enough information to realise how absurd his country's stance on homosexuality is.

Obviously, he was in the same league as MLK and Gandhi before his outburst…

Did travelling change your views on homosexuality? It didn't change mine but then I didn't have any issue with homosexuality before I went travelling…

Travelling no. But exposure to other cultures through various other outlets yes. Music, television, internet. Of course having gay friends is the clincher. I had no issue with gay people before knowing any who were 'out' but afterwards realised how ludicrous any prejudice against them was.

I'm not trying to excuse his actions and I've said that everything that's happened to him since is proper order, I'm just looking at the reasons behind his actions. Lithuania might have decriminalized homosexuality at the same time as Ireland (in 1993) but it's at least a quarter of a century behind Ireland in terms of its attitudes towards homosexuality. Views like his were commonplace in Ireland thirty years ago.
